"So, what's wrong if someone wants to learn how to do body work and paint themselves, as well as building an engine, installing a refurbished interior that's not perfect, rebuilding the suspension etc.? Not all of us have deep pockets so we can simply write a check and get someone to...

Yeah, the Maryland project extended well over a year. Finally got sick of being on the road. Quit and came home. We've, we being me and my father, have just begun again on the build. Engine is sitting In a machine shop now with aluminum heads waiting to be ported and polished. I have a stroker...

And that's where you're missing the point. Most of our clients do shows yes but most of out clients are return business and I happen to know a lot of them are also just as enthusiastic about this sorta thing as you and I. They have numerous cars, they do drive them and sometimes they drive them...

Dartnut I understand the sincerity here by being supportive of your friend. I do think for someone learning the ropes and doing things on a budget that gdrill is doing good work reviving old cars most young people only see as trash. It is my generation that doesn't hold the same esteem for a lot...

Seriously Blu - Get on that T56 man! You spent so much to collect the parts now park the darn thing and swap! Jokes aside we are all anticipating the swap and I really want to hear/see the results.

I feel you - I went with a 3.74 rear end ratio as I believe it's the best performance/cruise-ability you can really get. Withe the TKO I can be at 70 with a 3000 RPM spin which will be a hellva lot better than the 727 and also get a theoretical top speed of 160 MPH which I think will be fun on...

Yep, that's the one I am thinking about going with. Awesome, yeah I think this sounds good. Thank you for confirming with me, this saves me a lot of phone calls and time.

Why American Powertrain over SST? To be honest after speaking to the reps I may very well go with SST. They seem much more accommodating and knowledgeable. The SST set-up does come with the pedals. I've also since decided I may as well go with the hydraulic set-up since I am limited for space as...

Come on guys, 109 views and counting but no comments?

Hey, After a lot of review and speaking with some individuals on this forum I've decided that I may swap to a five speed tremec transmission. Me and my father have never redone a car to take a manual before and wanted some advice. We don't plan on getting to the transmission for at least eight...

Well I am currently in Maryland for work, the car is in California where I am from. I don't know how much shipping would be but if it is a good price maybe.

It just came to my attention but this IS a complete car - the previous owner removed the bumpers/front panels and hood to get to the engine (I don't know why). Anyway, I suppose it looks like a much larger project than it actually is. All the pieces are there and in good shape given the year of...

Yes actually, I am on a project here for 8 months in Columbia. So far not a bad city, more spread out than I am used to though. The car, though, is back in California. If my project becomes much more long term I will probably fly back and drive it here or ship it via truck.

Bruh - We roll deep. That's the 50GAL.

To begin, I am a novice at this. I am currently a fresh graduate from college and have since landed my first, what I can safely say, legitimate career. Being a responsible, educated male I did what any sane peoples would do. I went out and got myself a money pit, having no kids and little over...

@72bluNblu Thanks once again for your expertise. Actually I have been just ordering parts because my father is currently enthralled with a '39 Chevy 1/2 ton and painting a friend of the families Suzuki Samurai that halls their camper. They actually just got back from Alaska for a year and now...

@72bluNblu I have gone ahead and decided to go with the 18x9'' Rims. I have gone ahead and picked out some rims and I was hoping if you would tell me if these would work or not with my application. I am going to have the QA1 Tubular UAC and LAC along witha 1/2'' Spring relocation OR a possible...

I am not skimping per sey - I just thought that 440Source would be a viable options since their heads have amazing reviews. I am most likely looking at a Harland Sharp set or Mancini Racing set. It just so happens that may not be the case. I am really divided on whether to go with them or not...

Damn, I was really hopping that 440source would be a good quality parts company. Sad to see they aren't selling what their site hypes up. I know Harland Sharps make exceptional rockers, its whats in my dads car, but they are pricey. This is most likely going to be a year long or more project...

Roccodart440 - Care to elaborate? I already ordered the parts, some arrived and some have not but I am willing to take advice when given. This is my first engine build outside of slapping on a turbo and larger manifold/injectors with an ecu tune. Please tell me what I am missing or doing...

I was thinking of using 440source as well since all their parts seem to be great value to performance. What do you think of these and some COMP High energy lifters? Aluminum Roller Rockers/shafts - 1.5 Ratio - New-440 Source Crane also looks like a viable option but you didn't mention any...

Hey yeah I just noticed that when I was reading. I seem to have ordered the incorrect heads by accident. I am sending them back to Summit tonight and exchanging them for another set. I guess I drank a little too much that night haha. I want to go quality for the sake of keeping things running...

I am pretty much finished ordering parts for my engine. We are keeping it hydraulic vs adjustable because we don't want the extra maintenance/costs associated to keep it reliable. I am confused right now about which style I want to go - flat tappet or roller cams. Right now the set I have...

I like the idea of a A833 under there but I figured with the cost and the price to have the transmission done right too it would be well outside my price point. I decided to go with a Cope Racing Trans 727- Plan to order that after the S60 next month, either going with the 4.10 or 3.55 gear set...

Great information - Do you know if he does any sort of kit for the 727 or do you have to have them custom built by him? I have a couple people here who are willing to do it if I provide all the parts but I haven't been able to just source a kit to handle up to 600HP - I will be running about...

Luckily we're pretty damn well connected in the Northern California area. We have a lot of friends in the business and people are always willing to take time to help, of course we do the same all the time too. I can't count the number of times in high school I had to strip an old car down for my...

72blu You rock man! Thank you so much for this information, it is very good stuff. I can see why the 6k is worth it though - that trans set-up sounds really, honestly, nice. I am thinking of running a beefed up 727 behind mine only because I am not sure I want to go through all the effort of...

Hm, well, yeah I figured it would be but what are you looking to get out of it? Why spend 6K + on a this one individual car vs your challenger that you've been planning on doing body work for haha! That would SURELY cover it XD!! I am just trying to pick your brain, after all it's your money ...

Checking out that Diff now - The measurements look a little complicated but I am sure I can ask around before I order. Thank you for your help and suggestions, I've really appreciated it. Tell me about this T56 swap, you have me VERY intrigued.

Your car seems awesome Blu - I don't know I kinda like the cream/black. I really think it's cool but I get wanting to match the color PLUS have the color of your choice. Thank you for tagging GmachineDartGT too - I am trying my best to make this right the first time. Thank you very much for...
